Student and Faculty Collaborations
Industrial Engineering and Logistics Management Professor Andrew Lim and PhD students, Hong Ma, Qi Wen, Zhou Xu and Zhu Wenbin, won an Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence (IAAI) Deployed Application Award for their paper, “Journal-Ranking.com: An Online Interactive Journal Ranking System”, at this year’s IAAI annual conference. The international event, sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence was held in Vancouver, Canada.
The paper documented joint work between HKUST and business and technology consultants Red Jasper Limited on the successful deployment of an online interactive journal ranking system. This unique system was inspired by the limitations of current journal ranking websites where audiences can only access static reports with no right to change the structure of categories or criteria for ranking journals.
The new system allows users to interactively configure their ranking interests, as well as provide a more reasonable method to evaluate a journal’s impact. The primary objective of the service is to encourage academics, research scholars, and students to evaluate journal impact based on their own interests.
